LADY GRANTHAM OPENS ARTS
FESTIVAL CENTRE
"Ever since this Colony began, people of vision have seen in it a place of fusion, of interchange ... a place where there is great encouragement and cause for the thoughtful man to break free of his prejudices and see things as they arc," said Lady Grantham when she opened the Exhibition Centre of the Festival of the: Arts this morning.
Lady Grantham said that Hongking was a place where the greatness and beauty and honour, as well as the vices and folly and pettiness, of diverse modes of life were liberally contrasted and communicated each with
the other.
